In this pathfinding book, Raśl Villa explores how California Chicano/a activists, journalists, writers, artists, and musicians have used expressive culture to oppose the community-destroying forces of urban renewal programs and massive freeway development and to create and defend a sense of Chicano place-identity. Villa opens with a historical overview that shows how Chicano communities and culture have grown in response to conflicts over space ever since the United States' annexation of Mexican territory in the 1840s. Then, turning to the work of contemporary members of the Chicano intelligentsia such as Helena Maria Viramontes, Ron Arias, and Lorna Dee Cervantes, Villa demonstrates how their expressive practices re-imagine and re-create the dominant urban space as a community enabling place. In doing so, he illuminates the endless interplay in which cultural texts and practices are shaped by and act upon their social and political contexts. 410 0$aHistory, culture, and society series. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCity and town life in literature 606 $aHispanic American neighborhoods in literature 606 $aLocal color in literature 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aSetting (Literature) 606 $aSpace and time in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCity and town life in literature. 615 0$aHispanic American neighborhoods in literature. 615 0$aLocal color in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aSetting (Literature) 615 0$aSpace and time in literature. 676 $a810.9/86872 700 $aVilla$b Rau?l$01718420 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828234303321 996 $aBarrio-logos$94115372 997 $aUNINA
